35-Chinna Katha Kaadu

Arun is living the dream; he and his best friend are inseparable, and he is getting through school just fine despite failing math. It all changes when his fifth-grade teacher believes math is the cornerstone of knowledge. As Arun struggles with the rapid changes in his life, his family tries their best to help him. Things worsen, and Arun's parents clash over the best approach to help him. With the fate of his family on the line, Arun decides to accept a challenge set by his teacher and pass the annual standardized math test.

This is an excellent family-friendly movie. The story gives a unique perspective on how a family approaches raising their children, educating them, and conforming to what society deems appropriate. The story also shares many forms in which children learn and struggle with learning. The movie is long, and some parts could be removed to streamline the runtime, but overall, it is still a great watch. This is an excellent movie for anyone interested in international films or wanting to see how different cultures approach learning and education.

This one is heartwarming. In the junk that TFI usually puts out, this is taaza fresh.

Nivedita Thomas has that aura. From the very first frame till the end she pull you in like a familiar face, a character that is radiant and spectacularly brought to life on screen. She's mom, the teacher and everything that this movie needed, showing us the simple life of a family from tirupati. Vishwadev's performance as a father was equally well done and shan't be spoken less of. The chemistry between these two characters on screen was just adorable.

The love and warmth that each character brought to life is lifelike. No character gets left behind. Everyone has a story and they all deal with something - something you hardly see in a telugu film.

Arundev has a bright future, his Charm and ability to perform in front of the camera came quite naturally to this champ.

Absolutely loved this movie. I didn't want these characters' story to end.

Thanks to the entire team that brought this movie to life.

9/10.

"35- Chinna Katha Kaadu" is one of the most heartwarming and feel-good films I've seen in recent times. Set in Tirupati, it beautifully captures the emotional journey of a mother helping her son overcome academic struggles. Nivetha Thomas shines in a deeply moving role, and the film's honest storytelling, soulful music, and strong performances make it a must-watch. A simple yet powerful reminder of how love, support, and belief can change lives and how mother is a best teacher in the world. This movie reminds me school mathematics (tough nut to crack). If you enjoy simple, emotionally-driven stories about real people and real problems, this is worth your time - especially for parents, teachers, and students.

When was the last time you saw a film that truly deserved a 5 star rating? Honestly, I can't recall one. "35" is a movie that deserves a special place in cinema history for generations to enjoy.

Overall, "35" feels like a film that embodies the warmth, love, and determination of a mother. It's great to see meaningful films like this making their way into our lives. In a world where many movies are just noise and lack depth, "35" feels like a breath of fresh air. It offers a healing experience that reminds us of the importance of family and love. In a neighborhood filled with distractions, this film is like a blissful sanctuary..

A heartfelt salute to the '35' team for reminding us that motherhood is more than just giving life, it's about sharing love, strength, and the courage to face the world.

Flawless movie.. simply amazing... dialogues, direction, acting, songs... every minute detail was well thought out.. so refreshing to watch... a great relief among all the over-hyped larger than life hero movies that we have now a days.. Every actor gave thier 💯... loved the part when dad tells, entire life to talk with chinnu.. now is his time.. ifykyk... let's encourage questioning, the right way to learn... BTW please don't compare it to Tare zameen par...... its way different.. broad theme may be same.. but the way story is told is different We need more such writers and directors and actors inTelugu industry .. story telling is an art and this move exemplifies it.. kudos to entire team.
